Editorial Notes:

The Three Arts Club was established in 1907/08 in the Strand as the Frances Club, a day club for women working in music, art and drama. Following a move in 1910 to Mecklenburgh Square, the club offered residential accommodation, and was renamed the Three Arts Club after the New York women’s club after which it was modelled. Its move to 19a Marylebone Street followed thereafter. Sir Arthur Pinero (1855-1934), Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934) and John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) sat on the advisory board. Princess Marie Louise of Schleswig-Holstein (1872-1956) served as President.
